"The three companions now came up to the body, and each dealt it a severe blow upon the head with his kanake, breaking the skull in pieces. They quickly bound the body with fibre collected from the inner surface of mallee-bark, and they tied it to a heavy log, so that if the Evil One should come to life he would be unable to run away with such a heavy weight. The three took turns in watching over the body during the night. When the sun rose they broke their fast, and then they bound the body to a pole about fifteen feet long. The younger Winjarning and the Hermit each took an end of the pole upon his shoulder, and carried the body into the plain country. They cleared the ground in a circle of fifty paces in diameter, and to the centre of the circle the young men carried boughs and twigs of mallee, and laid on the ground three logs, each about nine or ten feet long, and pointing east and west. Between these logs they packed smaller wood closely, and upon the logs they placed others cross-wise, closely together. Another layer of logs was placed upon the top in an east and west direction. Finally, yet another layer was placed on the top, which now formed a platform eight feet wide.

Upon this pile the body of the Evil One was placed, feet to the south and head to the north. This was contrary to their customary method of disposing of the dead. It was adopted because the Evil One was considered to be the greatest enemy of mankind. . ."
